A well-sequenced curriculum that builds knowledge over time and empowers pupils to become skilled readers is essential. Achieving this transforms pupils' lives and keeps their future options open.
Our progression document details how we approach the teaching of knowledge and ensure progression over time for pupils. It also explains how we provide challenge for all pupils to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum.
English subject leaders will find the Progression Document useful as it offers clear year group guidance. It can be used in staff meetings to review the teaching of Master Readers. Along with lesson videos in the training library (on our school portal) it provides staff with focussed feedback from learning walks.
Many schools are adding the progression document to their websites, ensuring an accurate, easy-to-read explanation of their approach to excellence beyond phonics.
